## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH, ATTEMPTED  TO MOVE LANDING GEAR SELECTOR  HANDLE TO DOWN POSITION, BUT COULD ONLY GET APPROXIMATELY 2/3 TRAVEL DOWN.  CYCLED HANDLE AGAIN WITH SAME RESULT.  APPROACH ABANDONED.  CHECK LIST PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED FOR MANUAL EXTENSION.  FOLLOWING EMERGENCY DECLARATION, REQUESTED A FLY-BY, A REVIEW OF ALL NORMAL AND EMERG LANDING PROCEDURES WAS CONDUCTED, A FLAT APPROACH WITH FULL FLAPS AND VREF SPEED WAS MADE.  UPON TOUCH-DOWN, ROLLED TO STOP, SHUT DOWN LT ENGINE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND SCREW (PN A116-2B) LODGED UNDER A LEVER  ARM (PN 25-CX-1355) RESTRICTING TRAVEL OF THE ARM.  AFTER  REMOVING SCREW, WERE ABLE TO LOWER HANDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN.  (X)
